Production Details:
Hornby RailRoad Class B4 0-4-0 Shepway. This
RailRoad B4 Class steam shunter is the ideal little tank engine for a
model railway layout. Whether running a short train around a layout or
shunting wagons in a goods yard, it is the perfect little steam engine
for getting things moved! This RailRoad model is a good example of a
privately owned steam shunter that could have been seen working in an
industrial setting. The B4 Class were first introduced in the 1890’s
with their original purpose being for station piloting and shunting
freight wagons in docks. They were designed by London and South Western
Railway (LSWR). The close wheel configuration made them ideal for
shunting around tight radius curves that were common in docks and works
yards with limited space. Two examples of these fine locomotives are
still preserved today.
